The teen years are an exciting time in your child’s life. They’re gaining their independence. They’re learning to drive and maybe even looking at colleges. As a parent, you’re wondering where the time went.

The holiday season is upon us, which means plenty of family time, wonderful food, and busy schedules. While you run around attending parties and purchasing gifts, it’s important to maintain good oral hygiene habits to ensure that your mouth stays healthy, especially if you are wearing braces. Check out these tips to keep your teeth beautiful, while improving your smile on the go this holiday season.

If you’re getting ready for the holidays in Suwanee, then you know there will be many treats to tempt you during this holiday season, including the local peach cobbler. The busy pace of December makes it easy to forget that you can use the winter break to focus on your child’s oral health. We believe that every mouth with uneven or crooked teeth, crowding, or a misaligned bite can be fixed. It just starts with a thorough examination by our highly-trained orthodontist, Dr. Michael Gorlovsky. The Windermere Orthodontics team is standing by to develop a custom treatment plan for each new patient!

We hope everyone had a fun-filled and safe Halloween! Did you know that Invisalign clear aligners are removable? You can undergo orthodontic treatment and still be able to enjoy your favourite Halloween treats! Thanks to Invisalign, you get the best of both worlds!

It is important to have an easy, effective and fun oral hygiene routine. This is especially true for those of us undergoing orthodontic treatment! If you are not brushing thoroughly, food can get trapped behind the wires of your braces.

On June 4th, only 6 days after his high school graduation, our patient and dear friend Holden Ludwig took a direct driver side hit in his vehicle and suffered a traumatic brain injury. After 6 weeks in the ICU, Holden was moved to the Shepherd Center where he is currently undergoing rehab.

At Windermere Orthodontics, many of our patients participate in a variety of sports throughout the year.   The fall season is a busy time for sports,  with some students even participating in more than one sport. The need for safety equipment when taking part in sports is well known, however  dental protection can sometimes be an after-thought. With or without braces, dental protection is critical for contact sports. At Windermere Orthodontics, we can help make mouthguards an essential component of your safety!

It’s the season for pencils, backpacks and books! For parents, it’s the ‘most wonderful time of the year’ when their children return to the classroom and organized activities. Your child may have begun their orthodontic journey over summer break – so how can they feel prepared for the school year ahead?

Online orthodontic companies, such as Smile Direct Club, make orthodontic treatment sound simple and easy. Take a selfie, get a scan and your aligners will arrive in the mail. In a few weeks, your teeth will be straight. At Windermere Orthodontics, we strongly advise you to seek orthodontic care with an orthodontist.
